Lyrics Okie From Muskogee (v2)(Merle Haggard - Eddie Burris)
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee We don't take our trips on LSD We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street We like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving We like holding hands and pitching woo We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen Football's still the roughest thing on campus And the kids here still respect the college dean.
All together everybody.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee Thank you A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse In Muskogee Oklahoma USA... |
